a question! did you have any problems with front calipers? ive heard front calipers may have contact with gen coup rims! do you use any kind of spacers on front wheels!?
and finally your price!...
call me if you done! waiting for DIY!

i used Hyundai Center Cap
i removed the hyundai layer with a screwdriver...(you can use a knife instead)
take care don't brake it with high pressure of your hand...
you can warm it to remove the tape easier
now use your fingers to remove the tape...
after removing the Hyundai layer you must use rubber to remove H shape from the center cap...
don't let the rubber go to basic layer....
after that use a sand paper to get it smooth
now use a softer sand paper to get it more and more smooth...
(take care of edge)
now use a spray color to paint it if you want a decals on it
after paint let color to dry... now use your decals on it...
if you want to use your L logo you can buy it from a shop and use tape to take on it....
Enjoy it...










This is what i have done...
if you want to spend time this way is the best,,, no want to loose time just order a ordinary lexus center caps...
I cant find the lips of front bumper in my country

Lol, had no time to prep/plan.. a spur of the moment type of situation
too tired to wash it today, hopefully they come off easy tomorrow, but very doubtful
